Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
byte	getCommandId() Used by marshallers to convert this command into an id for streaming.
Object[]	getParameters() Used by marshallers to stream this command across a network
boolean	isReturnValueExpected() If true, a return value will be provided when performed remotely.
Object	perform(InvocationContext ctx) Performs the primary function of the command.
void	setParameters(int commandId, Object[] parameters) Used by the CommandsFactory to create a command from raw data read off a stream.

Method Detail

perform

Object perform(InvocationContext ctx)
               throws Throwable

Performs the primary function of the command. Please see specific implementation classes for details on what is performed as well as return types. Important: this method will be invoked at the end of interceptors chain. It should never be called directly from a custom interceptor.

Parameters:

ctx - invocation context

Returns:

arbitrary return value generated by performing this command

Throws:

Throwable - in the event of problems.

getCommandId

byte getCommandId()

Used by marshallers to convert this command into an id for streaming.

Returns:

the method id of this command. This is compatible with pre-2.2.0 MethodCall ids.

getParameters

Object[] getParameters()

Used by marshallers to stream this command across a network

Returns:

an object array of arguments, compatible with pre-2.2.0 MethodCall args.

setParameters

void setParameters(int commandId,
                 Object[] parameters)

Used by the CommandsFactory to create a command from raw data read off a stream.

Parameters:

commandId - command id to set. This is usually unused but *could* be used in the event of a command having multiple IDs, such as PutKeyValueCommand.

parameters - object array of args

isReturnValueExpected

boolean isReturnValueExpected()

If true, a return value will be provided when performed remotely. Otherwise, a remote ResponseGenerator may choose to simply return null to save on marshalling costs.

Returns:

true or false
